Who is John Amaechi and why is he featured in this episode?
Our friend John Amici has braved our borders and customs restrictions to be here helping us with the all-important meetings. Got to have meetings. Welcome, John. It's nice to see you. Thank you. Good to be here. How hard and how much fear was there involved with trying to get over here to hold me in your bosom?
I tell you, the interesting part was a colleague of mine, an academic at another university, recently found themselves stopped, held for 36 hours, and then gently ushered back to France. So since that point... It has made me breathe deeply about coming into the country. And again, it's not anything about the people of the country. It's just about the process of going through the border. And it's notable to me, I suppose, that I travel to the Middle East for work and places that others might imagine to be more hostile from a governmental point of view. And I feel less stressed than I felt coming in. I've got global entry, right? So I've been double checked. The home office has checked me to make sure I'm not a bad person. And so is the US government.
And they were all really very pleasant. And so it turns out to be a bit of a nothing. But the idea that that stress exists in America is really strange for me.
I want to just show you something we've been playing with today, which is Donald Trump saying he is 6'3", 224 pounds and the pathology of lying because I'm just putting him next to an assortment of world class athletes who have a similar weight and size. And there seems to be a discrepancy between how he looks and how they look. the pathology of lying here as somebody who is a psychologist. What do you make of doing things like this where you're just perfectly okay saying 6'3", 224 pounds when that lie does not meet the eye test?
What is the significance of the Donald Trump size comparison and the psychology behind lying?
So I'd say two things. One, Hold on, hold on. So this is what I'd say about that. Sorry, I'm just, I'm totally distracted by- That was Matt Coogler. The juxtaposition.
Indeed it was.
And believe it or not, the shorts match the shirt.
What were you, I've never seen you speechless or not ready to be talking like a professional broadcaster at every moment.
It's just that that particular, that shirt, and also the pose, it's like he's part of Trump's entourage. He's dancing. Well, that was,
at daytona he's dancing oh so essentially then the same thing uh mike why don't you get your uh gear uh gear head so that you could tell us all about the trip you're about to make to talladega oh my god that's going to be incredible well while john amici gathers his thoughts real quick it was bristol baby kyle lorison bounces back from a terrible race at darlington which made the same mistake twice and did not finish he just totally lapsed the field he was he was the best car by a wide stretch, wins that race at Bristol. Kyle Larson's second win of the Cup Series team. But yeah, hey, DraftKings is helping me out. I actually go to Talladega because I wanted to stay in the infield because it's NASCAR's biggest party on the circuit. And I waited a little too long to do that. Apparently, you got to get that request in for a long time.
But thankfully, my partners at DraftKings heard that this was something that I was interested in, worked something out with NASCAR. So I'm going to go there in a camper with three of my friends to Talladega Super Speedway for the most bonkers race weekend. the NASCAR Cup Series has to offer. It is a trip that I've really wanted to take for quite some time. It is a dream and it's all being made possible because of DraftKings. Camper? You're doing a camper? We got a camper. We got premium RV passes. It's incredible. There's concerts. It's the biggest party on the circuit. So I'm looking very much forward to this.
